HE GOT THE CHANGE.

How q Street Car Driver Complied with 8

One of those chronic dead-beats who
habitually infest society, railway and
street cars, boarded an Austin car, and
proceeded to develop his little game.

the driver Immediately seized upon IT
quietly collected his fare in the shape
of nickel, and for several blocks
nothing was said. Then the fraud
shivered the silence with:
"Am 1 going to have my change fol

"You didn't give me dollar" re
piled the driver, scowling darby.
"Yes, but l did though. and if you
don't pass me over the ninety-five
cents, I'll report you"
but you only gave ME nickel"

stood upon the platform glaring def.

of bloom brings fresh coroaet to
mark the spot. the grave is. though
nameless, cherished and horored by
the Nation among its most precious
possessions.
The custom of marking the graves
of the departed Is prehistoric. Every
thing which love can devise has, in
different periods, and by different ma
tons, been employed to beautify and
do honor to the tomb. There is a
beautiful legend of ancient Greece
that land of beautiful customs-that q
little child having died. its grief-dis-
tracted nurse carried to its grave 8
bucket containing its favorite toys.
She placed it upon the grave, covering
it with a slab that its contents might
not be disturbed. f happened that
the bucket was placed directly up on an
acanthus root-that classic plant the
very name of which suggests beauties
of sculpture and architecture. When

1ebrating. Said he: America is never
free from excitement. She is perpet-
ually unvailing a statue, erecting a
monument raising purse for some
body. When she is not doing these things
she is celebrating either Thanksgiving
Day, Fourth of July or Washington's
birthday. She never has a period OF
repose, which an Englishman requires,
and prefer to stay at home"
An unconscious tribute to America
lay in his words; for although the quick
and mobile blood of our young Nation
loves excitement for its own sake, yet
its chief motive for these multiplex
celebrations, which so offend the phleg-
matte Englishman, is ever love, graf
itude or patriotism. Ali of these emo
tons combine to make Decoration, OF
Memorial Day, as it is now more beau
tifully named. the HOLIDAY of Amer
fca- It is the day of days which, as a
Nation, we honor. The enthusiasm.
the Joy and gratitude, which ON that
day swell the National heart to burst
ing are tempered by grief which.
though su0dued by time, becomes
pregnant with the approach of each
Memorial Day. No monument to the
dead heroes, though heaven-sweeping
IN grandeur, though bearing the i'm.
press of genius and carved with the
.chisel of inspiration itself, could so
simply, 80 effectuaDy. so sublimely,
keep them in memory as does this sol
emn funeral festival at which all the
emotions of the human heart are swept
by undying memory.

FOOD FOR CALVES.
A System of Feeding Which Is Said {.
Produce Strong Cows.

A System of Feeding Which Is Said to
Produce Strong Cows.
Excellent calves may be reared upon
skinned milk, Notwithstanding the be-
lief that calves need cream Fat is not
required for a growing animal, but bone
and muscle and large, well developed
frame. This is especially the case with
cows, and the bony, thin Jersey cows
reared upon skinned milk have sur
passed UNNECESSARILY the Short-horns
fed and pampered upon the whole milk
of two foster dams besides their own.
To rear good calf one may FOLLOW this
method, viz: Remove it from the dam
as DON as it is On its legs, and before it
has sucked to some place where it is out
Of sight and hearing OF the COW. Teach
it to drink from the pail the freshly
drawn milk until the fifth morn
ing. after which time it gets a mess of
skinned milk warmed to eighty de-
grees. If the kind-hearted mistress
thinks this is ''hard lines" for the poor
young thing. add some new milk 10 it
and gradually reduce this until in few
days the whole meal is SKINNED milk.
Do not be misled isto giving oil-meal or
any thing else in the milk, for this mis-
taken kindness will most probably
cause severe fit of spasmodic collie
and painful diarrhea. Give nothing
but milk warmed to eighty degrees until
the calf is a month old. and then teach
1t to lick little fine oatmeal and wheat
bran; gradually increase this additional
food until in two months four ounces a
day is given with eight quarts of milk.
Carefully avoid over-feedi ng, which in
duces diarrhea and stunts the calf. A
cow thus reared has given eight and
one-half pounds of butter the first week
of milking at twenty months old, and
has increased up to fourteen pounds
weekly at five years.-M 7. Times.

Japanese Court liveries.

Koniastu, who has spent the last few

about eight hours each spell.
